Celia married Max in 1905 and came over from Belarus to NYC with Max in 1906.  She made the trip while pregnant with Ann.  Her father was Aaron David Schneiderman.  He had blonde hair and blue eyes.  Her mother was Machle.  Celia had two sisters (Sura and Cifra) and two brothers who had died years before they came to the US.

Through  the Jewish Gen website, I met a distant cousin who is also a descendant of Schneiderman’s of Chashniki.  He is Professor Arnold Horelik , an internationally known scholar of Russian Studies. 

When I told my mother of my correspondence with Prof. Horelick she could not believe it.  It was Arnold, her favorite cousin from 50 years ago!!! 

Since then, Arnold and the family have gotten together and picked up where they left off years ago.
